My co-worker just installed cygwin, when he tries to run startxwin.sh it

A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit.
Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information

Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.99.901-4
Contact: xxx
XWin was started with the following command line

XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error


I've read a few posts on this and tried the solutions (setting XWin :2,
the font mount problem) to no avail. Can you suggest any other options
to get it to work on his machine?


I'd suggest the easiest solution to a working install would be to wipe the
existing and reinstall choosing "Unix/binary" instead of "DOS/text".

Thank you - that fixed his problem!
